GOLD KEY NEW VEHICLE RECEIVING AND INSPECTION/TRANSPORTATION

SUBJECT: GOLD KEY NEW VEHICLE RECEIVING AND INSPECTION/ TRANSPORTATION CLAIMS PROCEDURES

All 1994 Cadillac vehicles are shipped with a sealed package of Gold Key materials in the trunk. One set of gold - plated keys and one set of nickel - plated keys are included with each vehicle. The Gold Keys and the nickel-plated keys are NOT included in the sealed package and will be used by the transportation carrier during delivery. It is essential that a dealership employee inspect all new 1994 vehicles for both sets of keys and the Gold Key packages. In the event the package is missing, incomplete, and/or the Golf Keys are missing, the following procedures must be strictly adhered to:

A. Delivery receipt must be coded 98086 with a notation "Gold Keys missing", "Gold Key Package missing", etc.

B. Replacement packages and/or materials can be obtained from Cadillac Stationery Control by calling 1-800-892-2000 and ordering from the following selection:

Refer to your Warranty and Transportation Claim Preparation manual for complete procedures on how to submit a claim for postage reimbursement.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
